My read is simple recent closed activity gives you the clearest pricing signal before you list.
If you're deciding whether to list now, I would focus on what closed last month before you make a move. In Castle Rock, CO, the median sold price was $677,500 last month, and that is the number I would use to frame your pricing conversation first.
Last month in Castle Rock, CO, the typical sale price was $677,500, while the typical asking price sat at $765,000. That gap tells me I need to pay attention to how buyers are reacting at the price point you choose. I also look at the 3.14 months of inventory and the 99% sold-to-list price result together. That combination says I should be careful with pricing, because buyers are still closing close to asking, but they are not giving much room for a weak launch. Price it with the close range in mind. Watch the first wave of interest closely. If showings do not build fast, I would adjust sooner rather than later.
